1. One of the biggest inhibitor of promoting relaxation in a bedroom is unnecessary clutter, and one of the biggest problem areas is in the wardrobe
closet. Remove items that are damaged or haven’t been worn in two years and have a yard sale or donate them to charity.
In general, the more stuff you have in the room, the smaller and more confining the room will appear.
Eliminate from the room all reminders that you have children; your bedroom is about you and your partner. Move those mementos to another special place in your home.
Our homes have become as crowded as our lives and often our bedrooms do double duty as home offices, but all experts definitely agree that you should get the office and computer out of the bedroom.

2. Make the bed. Your skin will be in contact with your linens for six to eight hours every night. Choose good quality and muted colors rather than bright colors for your bedding. You want the room to be relaxing and romantic. Good colors for a bedroom include dark maroon, beige, mauve, sage green and muted yellow. Fluffy bed pillows, comforters and decorative throw pillows will create a luring bed.

3. Decoration should be simple but in the same time it has to show your personality. Stick with colors, textures and images that are meaningful and relaxing to you.

4. Your focal point could be a large piece of decorative furniture or you could build your design around a beautiful wall art.

5. Cover the windows in heavy draperies of one solid color. The color of the draperies should complement the bedding, but not be of the same pattern as the bedding, therefore solid colored draperies work best.

6. Place candles around the room. This will ensure a relaxed setting and add to the luxurious feel of the room.

I hope these few tips help put you on the right track in creating your dream bedroom.
